Abstract

Transformation of the chloroplast genome offers key advantages over traditional methods for generating transgenic plants, but this approach is limited to a few plant species. Nakazato et al. have developed a novel technique that will help to extend the technology to other plant species that are recalcitrant to current tissue culture-based chloroplast transformation protocols.

Keywords: genome editing; plastid genome; recalcitrant plant species.
